President Trump is continuing to focus on the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) as competing interests are vying for the attention from the White House.

During the biofuels meeting Monday afternoon, participants including EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt and USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue were in attendance as cabinet officials reviewed a list of potential changes to the RFS.

On AgriTalk Monday, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Ia.) discussed the “back door approach” of issuing an increasing number of waivers for small refiners.
